Title: XBox ?
Post by: Agnino on January 29, 2002, 03:02:56 PM
Im consider right now to buy an Xbox or NGC. I know there will be a lot of good games for the GC..... so I probably will buy it. Xbox though, I have searched some places for the games that is comming for this system..... it looks like a lot of PC / PS2 ports..... Is there any good games comming to Xbox this year ? Halo is worth  the Xbox purchase alone..... but I was just wondering if there is any other exclusive big Xbox titles comming this year.

Personally, I\'m looking forward to Ninja Gaiden, Brute Force, Panzer Dragoon, and Shenmue.  I bought the console for Halo though.

You speak as if PC games are bad.  PC ports tend to be bad, but ports of any nature tend to be of poor quality.  And if you look at those PC ports, you can bet that most of them are going to the PS2 as well.

But PC games are great IMO--they are much different from console games.  I am eager to see what MS does with Mechwarrior and Crimson Skies and what ID does with the system.

My G/F\'s brother has the GC and it has some interesting/fun games.  If you\'ve always liked Nintendo, they haven\'t changed and you\'ll enjoy it.  I prefer the PS2 and xbox style, but the GC is an inexpensive (relatively) alternative.  And I still say it is the most comfortable controller on the market.

If and when I get a GC I will not be a consumer of RE--that series is tired.  I will buy it for Nintendo\'s properties.

Well I sure can\'t tell you what to buy. It all depends on games if you luved your n64 then buy a Gamecube. Because it\'s ten times better.

As for xbox I can\'t wait for project ego-New legends-ninja gaiden-enclave-xavier fox-brute force-dino crisis 3 and a boast of other games hittng xbox soon.


Each system has it\'s own selection of great games coming soon it just depends on your taste. Which only you know.

I like PC games..... but I dont buy a console to play em, I have a good enough pc to play all new games. So, I buy a new console... to play console games, not PC ports. Well, GC it will be..... Im still confused about Xbox. There is so many new titles comming (unfamiliar names). I may buy it later, when it is a lil bit old :)
Yes, Resident Evil is one of the reasons Im going for GC too. Mario Sunshine, the new Starfox game, Zelda etc will be great too :)

Yeah, I have a good PC too, but there is something decidedly not cool about 2-4 people sitting around a computer playing a game.  Playing on the couch is the only way to really have fun with friends.

Enjoy your GC.
